WE STILL HAVE THE SPRINT AIRCARD. IT WORKS OFF THE CELL PHONE TOWERS. WHILE TRAVELLING AROUND BIG CITIES ON OUR TRIP BACK FROM WISCONSIN IT WORKED VERY WELL IN THE CAR. IT WAS FUN CHATTING ON YAHOO WITH NIKKI AND CHAD WHILE DRIVING.

SOME CELL TOWERS HAVE EXCELLENT CONNECTIONS AND YOU CAN CRUISE THE INTERNET WITH EASY. SOME CELL TOWERS HAVE SLOW CONNECTIONS AND THE SPEED IS COMPARABLE TO THE OLD DIAL UP MODEMS. GUESS WHICH WE HAVE HERE IN THE MOHAVE VALLEY?

OH, IT GETS THE JOB DONE, LIKE CHECKING E-MAIL AND POSTING THE BLOG, BUTS IT’S SLOWNESS IS IRRITATING AFTER HAVING A FAST CABLE CONNECTION LAST SUMMER.

BLACKSONE RV PARK IS INSTALLING A WI-FI SYSTEM SOON AND WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO USING THE SYSTEM AND CANCELLING THE AIRCARD AND MARY’S CELL PHONE CONTRACT WITH SPRINT.

IT WILL BE NICE TO GET RID OF THE THAT MONTHLY SPRINT BILL, AND WE’VE ALREADY ELIMINATED THE MONTHLY PHONE BILL FOR OUR OLD INTERNET CONNECTION WITH FRONTIER PHONE COMPANY. OF COURSE WE’VE ADDED A MONTHLY BILL FOR DIRECT TV, BUT WHEN IT ALL SHAKES OUT OUR WINTER “NUT” SHOULD END UP $25 A MONTH LESS EVEN WITH THE ADDITION OF SATELLITE TV.

I CAN’T REALLY RECOMMEND AN AIRCARD FOR THE AREAS WHERE WE LIKE TO CAMP. IF YOU’RE IN THE CITY HOWEVER, IT MAYBE JUST THE THING, ESPECIALLY IF YOU USE A LAPTOP AND LIKE TO BE CONNECTED EVERYWHERE.
